What do you mean? It is already working hard to get rid of all the flies in there.

You sound more like a capitalist CEO. Are you going to take its healthcare away as well?

They're already working hard ensuring your local network web is free from bugs.

Spider notwithstanding, looks like you’ve made an excellent partial faraday cage for your WiFi 😂

Similar to "bug" you can establish "spider" as a new computer term for things that infest a running system. Then you do conference talks, write books about it and keep all the earnings you get from doing that. The spider can't sue you for a share of that if it doesn't also pay you rent.

A spider is something you release into your system to catch bugs.
For a small fee of 1000$/h I will tell your company how.

Considering household insects like cockroaches often look for warm, dry locations to lay their oothecas (egg capsules), and have been known to get fried and damage equipment while doing so - I'd say you actually might have a useful symbiotic pal there, protecting your gear (do I see an MT-6000? Great gateway).

You’re seriously considering charging the spider rent after he provides you an excellent web connection without asking you for so much as a dime?! How dare you, sir?! How very dare you!!

I have made a fool of myself. You are absolutely right! I'll do some ping, traceroute and nslookup and get back to you! :)
